**[0:00] Speaker A:** Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years 6 months in prison. Let's talk about it.

**[0:12] Speaker B:** Guys, before we get into today's video, please consider liking and subscribing. We do have an update on Russell Brand. Did a video on this last week. We are now circling back as he has been sentenced to 10 years 6 months this morning in prison. I'm going to show you a clip right now of the judge laying out that sentence and we'll talk about it. I pass a sentence of imprisonment for 9 months for count three, 18 months for count five, reduced from two years to allow for totality, and 8 months for count seven. Those sentences are all concurrent to one another to further allow for totality, but consecutive to the sentence for rape. The sentence I pass on count six, rape, is 9 years imprisonment. So the total sentence is one of 10 years, 6 months. The few days you have already served will count.

**[0:59] Speaker B:** You will serve twothirds of that sentence, then be released on license, and will be liable to be recalled into custody if you breach its terms. On your release, you will also be indefinitely subject to the notification requirements under the Sexual Offenses Act 2003. Would you go with the officers, please?

**[1:16] Speaker A:** Wow. Wow. Wow. 10 years and 6 months.

**[1:19] Speaker A:** Now, I'll go ahead and reiterate what I've already said about Russell Bran and this particular case. It is astounding to me that a jury found him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt or I guess as they're asked in the UK to be sure that he is guilty of committing the crime of which he's been accused of. In this case, there was no CCTV footage. There was no physical proof or evidence that he committed any of these crimes. There was no DNA, no rape kit, no photographs or footage of this taking place. Nothing. And yet here he is with not only this conviction but a sentence of 10 years and six months in prison. And I have to go ahead and go back over the fact that these allegations came to light as Russell Brand was rising as a prominent figure in I guess you'll call it right-wing media, alternative media.

**[2:04] Speaker A:** He was voicing his opinions about the UK government, about COVID, about pharmaceutical companies, really going after them and going after them hard and getting quite a bit of an audience as he did so. Now, at the same time as these allegations were coming forward against Russell Brand, the media was absolutely attacking him for his political positions and his push back that he was giving to the UK government. And it's hard to believe that this investigation, the trial, and now his conviction and sentencing has nothing to do with the political beliefs that Russell Brand had. We're talking about a media that sat on these allegations for years. The Times was aware of these women and what they had alleged Russell Brand had done to them in 2019. It came to light years later and then brought about this investigation and now his conviction coincidentally at the same time that he's making this commentary and becoming a figure in alt media.

**[2:53] Speaker A:** Again, I do not know if Russell Brand did what he is accused of. He was admittedly a sexual deviant and I don't know how far that deviant behavior actually went, but that is the point. I don't know how far that behavior went. And there's no way with what was presented in this case, you could be a reasonable doubt say that this man was a rapist and a sexual predator. And interestingly enough, I have a video coming out tomorrow about Charlie Kirk, but Charlie Kirk tweeted this about Russell Brand as his allegations were coming to light. He says, "Every single allegation against Russell Brand concerns events that took place 20 years ago or more. None of them existed while he was a famous actor or comedian. All of them emerged once he became a highly visible dissident on politics and COVID. Brand has been forthright about his behavior as a young man.

**[3:36] Speaker A:** But the idea he was a serial rapist is absurd and more importantly completely unprovable. This is a political prosecution, plain and simple. We'll put another quarter in the Charlie Kirk was right bucket before we move on to this clip of the judge during Russell Brand's sentencing saying this and we'll analyze.

**[3:56] Speaker A:** Whatever women wear, wherever they go, indeed whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no and to to demand justice from the criminal courts when sexual predators like you, Russell Brand, act without their consent. Now, as far as I'm concerned, it's pretty customary for judges to go through what is alleged in the case, what the guy has been convicted of, then of course dole out sentencing, and explain the the sentencing and how they came to the conclusion of that sentence. Is it customary to give this sort of activist statement about whatever women wear and whatever they drink, they retain the rights to say no? I don't know exactly how that's relevant in what he's talking about. In fact, all throughout this sentencing statement from the judge, he gave a number of little nods to his personal opinion and where he stands on this case and maybe his more political outlook on these matters and the relationship

**[4:55] Speaker A:** between men and women in consent. There's no question as to where he lied on these matters. Again, matters that do not coincide with physical proof and evidence. I have to keep saying that over and over again. doesn't really matter what you think about Russell Brand, how you feel about him as a person, whether or not you believe these allegations to be true. It matters that there is evidence to back the allegations and to bring about a conviction and sentencing. And of course, now that we have his sentence, it'd be a good thing to compare it to other sentences given out to sexual predators in the UK. And I think we're all going to be shocked, maybe not so shocked, to see what we see here.

**[5:30] Speaker A:** Russell Brand gets a sentence of 10 years and 6 months. The bulk of that sentence comes from a rape conviction from a woman who was engaging in consensual sex with Russell Brand and then claims that the sex became unconsensual. Now, let's compare that to Abdul Sali who gets a 400B fine. And what did he do? He sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl and a 42year-old woman. And you can look into his case. He did far more than that, but I'll urge you to go check it out. Then you have Hadouch Kabatu who got 12 months. Now let's see what brought about this 12-month sentence. Sexual offenses including a 14-year-old girl and an adult woman. Now what's the difference between these three people? Anybody let me know. Abdul was an Afghan national uh in asylum accommodation and Hadouch was an Ethiopian asylum seeker. I think I'm spotting the difference.

**[6:24] Speaker A:** So the two-tier justice system in the UK seems to be very real and very present. And of course, I have to bring up the UK gang rape report, which brought forward what over 200,000 allegations of rape. Many of them credible, many of them coinciding with actual physical proof, evidence, DNA tests, rape kits, and what? So many of those were swept under the rug. Many of those men didn't even see a day in court to be sentenced. Yet, Russell Brand gets 10 years and six months.

**[6:53] Speaker A:** They'll say the Russell brand is to be made an example of, but what example are they actually making? What are they actually telling us with this? I think they're telling us the UK has a problem. And the problem is that they're unable to identify real threats to women and make examples of those guys. We know what the real threat to UK women and girls is. And it's not 20-year-old allegations that were brought to journalists before they were even brought to law enforcement. With the UK gang rape report, you had young girls who were brutally assaulted and gang raped, who then went to police stations to report this, then were picked up and brutally assaulted again. This was set in front of journalists and did we hear anything about it? Crickets. And multiply an instance like that by thousands and thousands. And did you hear anything about it from the media?

**[7:40] Speaker A:** No. And when you look at the sentences that you do get, what do you see? Discrepancy. But let's clap it up, guys, cuz we got Russell Brand. We got him. Meanwhile, we're importing Infinity immigrants and sitting them down in classes where we have to let them know that it's not okay to rape women. We're bringing in Sharia law courts. And then when you do capture these rapists who are going around and sexually assaulting women and girls, this is the sentencing that they get when they get it. Isn't it just amazing what you can achieve when you want something to be true versus when you don't? Russell Brand could very well be a sexual predator. I don't know that though. I don't have the evidence to support that and I certainly don't have the evidence to put him in prison for 10 years and six months.

**[8:22] Speaker A:** The UK has an issue. Uh, and I think we've identified what that issue is and I think we know what needs to happen. Is it going to happen? No. Because I think we're more subservient to narrative than we are to anything else and our own political agendas being pushed through rather than pushing through real justice. because I'm not sure that real justice would ever look like this.
